New Friends and Old Friends
I was going to give Jessica a "time-out" for blabbing about my birthday, but it turned into a virtual surprise party, and I love her for it... and I love you all for the Birthday wishes.
Maybe next year we can do the birthday party in person :)
Make new friends, but keep the old;

Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test—
Time and change—are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray,
Friendship never knows decay.
For ’mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old friends, alas! may die,
New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast—
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold
